About the Book

The Stoic's Handbook for Inner Freedom: A Timeless Guide to What Is In Your Control

Born a slave in the Roman Empire, Epictetus endured the harshest conditions life could offer. Through it all, he discovered that true freedom is not a matter of circumstance, but a state of mind. After gaining his freedom, he became one of the most respected and influential Stoic philosophers of his era, teaching that the path to a tranquil and virtuous life lies in a simple yet powerful understanding: focusing only on what is within our control.

The Enchiridion, or "Handbook," is the distilled essence of his teachings. Compiled by his student Arrian, this concise and direct manual is not a theoretical treatise, but an intensely practical guide to navigating the challenges of daily life. Its lessons provide a powerful antidote to modern anxiety, teaching us how to face adversity with courage, handle insults with indifference, and find unshakable peace no matter what the world throws our way.

This definitive edition from The Lyceum Press features:

  • A new and accessible English translation that preserves the direct, powerful voice of Epictetus, making his wisdom clear for the 21st-century reader.

  • An insightful new foreword that explores the book's history and enduring legacy, including the famous four-part analysis by the philosopher Simplicius, providing a rich context for your reading.

  • The second volume in the acclaimed Roman Stoics collection, designed as a perfect companion to our edition of Meditations and a beautiful, collectible addition to any library.

Whether you are a leader facing immense pressure, a professional navigating a chaotic career, or simply a seeker of wisdom looking for a steady hand in turbulent times, the Enchiridion offers a timeless and actionable path to resilience.

This is more than a book; it is a lifelong companion and a training manual for the mind.
